"What did you say?" Fujin's voice interrupted Hugo's thoughts. Hugo realized that he was so excited that he could say the thoughts in his mind. He blurted out without thinking deeply or hesitation.

Hugo himself was also frightened by this bold idea and couldn't help but be stunned, but then an indescribable excitement surged in his mind, like an electric current, making Hugo tremble all over his body, "I mean, why do we have to complete the production of a new album in the recording studio?"

Fujin stared at Hugo incredibly, as if he was an idiot, “Because we need a table, a bunch of recording equipment, a really quiet soundproof room?”

Hugo opened his mouth, and the thoughts in his mind were boiling, "a computer, a recording software and a dynamic microphone", but he was immediately choked by himself because he realized now that he was in 1996, not 2014.

In the future when electronic recording equipment is fully developed, people can complete recording work anywhere. A computer and a recording software are enough to complete all the complex work in the recording studio. This has also made countless cover experts appear on the Internet and successfully become popular, the most famous of which is Justin Bieber. The development of the Internet and electronic equipment makes professional recording work simple, and even amateurs can easily complete it.

In 2014, the equipment in the recording studio will be divided into two categories. One is traditional equipment, which is complicated to operate and bulky, but very fine, which can retain the characteristics of singer voice to the greatest extent; the other is electronic equipment, which is easy to carry and simple to operate, and can simply and roughly complete many tasks that traditional equipment cannot do.

However, even if all amateurs can complete recording work at their own homes, why does the recording studio still have an irreplaceable status? There are many reasons, mainly because of the fineness and accuracy of traditional recording equipment, and also because of the consideration of sound insulation.

The fineness and accuracy of the recording equipment are very easy to understand. Singing in a traditional recording studio has very high requirements for singers, because the most essential things of the singer will be presented in the recording studio, and a little flaw will be amplified, which is convenient for producers to correct them bit by bit. Although electronic recording equipment is very advanced, its limitations are relatively large, and it still requires diverse equipment in the recording studio to complete it. In the recording studio, even people with incomplete tone can record perfect sound tracks through fine adjustments of the recording equipment.

The sound insulation effect is actually a further supplement to the recording process, because the outside environment sound is very complicated, not only to increase the recording workload, but also to cause great harm to the music itself and singer singing. Simply put, when recording at the airport, let alone recording, I guess even the singer can't hear anything singing. Not to mention recording outdoors, even if there is no noise, countless noises will make the sound quality extremely bad.

In the future, when electronic equipment is developed, many people will record in their own garage or basement in their homes, hoping to achieve better sound insulation. However, the echoes generated in different spaces during recording will have an impression of the audio effect, which will ultimately affect the quality of the recording master.

It can be said that Hugo's idea was incredible even in 2014, with perfect equipment, and no one would do so. Not to mention that it is now 1996, which is impossible and no one will try to implement it.

Therefore, in the face of Fujin's doubts, Hugo was stunned. He originally thought it was a fantasy idea, but found that it was not realized at all, which disappointed Hugo very much.

Fujin was even more surprised when he saw Hugo's uncovered disappointment. He thought Hugo was just joking, "Hugo, we are talking about the third regular album, not the live album!"

In fact, there are also types of albums. Putting aside singles and ep, there is also a strict distinction between studio albums and live albums. When people mention "new albums", they basically refer to studio albums. The so-called live albums are very easy to understand, which are albums recorded at the concert and performance site. This kind of album is to include the noise such as cheers and screams at the performance site, so that listeners who purchase albums can experience the heat waves of the performance site in an immersive way.

Although the sales of live albums are far less than that of studio albums, there are many enthusiasts, because everyone knows that the atmosphere of the performance is the most inspiring. The fanaticism and pleasure that studio albums do not have is enough to make every scene look unique.

But even live albums have requirements for the environment. The space of the performance venue, the placement of recording equipment, the quality of live sound, etc. will have an impact on the quality of live albums. What Hugo said is that even compared with live albums, there is still a big difference.

"Fujin, I know, of course I know." Hugo spread his hands, but after he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was a little loud, as if disturbing the two people immersed in music. He had to turn around and leave, and then explained to Fujin, "Imagine that every city, every road, every street corner, every bridge... is our performance stage, our recording studio, we have been walking on the road, our music is wandering on the road, this freedom, this unruly and casualness is in the blood of our music, so why can't we incorporate this temperament into our album?"

"So, where do you want to record?" Fujin and Hugo walked side by side. He could clearly feel the excitement and passion emitted from Hugo's body at this time. The surging that belonged only to the beginning of glory until his death was just beginning, burning in sight like a raging flame, reminding Fujin of the song "Sailing" last night.

"Anywhere, anywhere, any corner." Hugo said with a dance, "We can even record a song in the Grand Canyon. Each of our songs can be recorded in different places, traveling all over the North American continent, New York, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans... We record all summer, letting the taste of summer enter our albums, and letting the breath of major cities enter our music, just dedicate it to... well, this crazy and chaotic land, this wanton and unruly era."

But Fujin frowned and thought, "No, maybe...I mean, I should discuss with Neil. I have an idea now, but I think our band should gather together to discuss and take a look."
